    And you know what’s really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it

      Returning to an occasional coke out of necessity after swapping to other sodas is a bizarre experience. It really has a strange taste. Not even necessarily bad, but strange. But if you return to it for a few weeks, you stop noticing it.

        Bought an oreo coke out of morbid curiosity today. I love trying weird shit like that. 10/10 would try it once and never again, again.

          Where is on the scale of “tastes exactly like oreos” to “tastes like monkey butts but the more sips I take the more I want it”?

            It tasted like an oreo you got out of a monkey butt, so def wanted more.

            It tastes like vanilla coke, but different. I described it as greasy vanilla, but creamy might be a nicer way to put it. I didn’t notice any chocolate flavor.

          Funnily enough I’ve tried a Coke Oreo the other day and it’s the most disgusting, vile shit I’ve ever had the misfortune of tasting before. Tastes like flat coke that’s being left in the open for a week. Why, oh WHY would someone think that’s a good idea? Who’s the executive that greenlit this shit?!

            I dunno man. And you’re not wrong. Mine probably would have been better if it wasn’t sugar-free. That dominated the oreo flavor.

            But I’ll try any of that weird shit. I love the wacky chips and whatnot. Once.

          Try some Ovaltine in OJ sometime (we ran out of milk). Definitely worth adding to the “trying weird shit” list.

          I bought a bag of lamington-infused coffee out of curiosity. It tastes faintly of strawberry and coconut. A sip would have been enough and I bought a week’s supply… 😒

          At least I’m supporting breast cancer research by drinking it.

        So you’re saying that doing too much coke can result in the loss of taste?

      I didn’t drink it for a while and after that it tasted disgusting to me. And I used it as an opportunity to drink healthier from then on.

              A lot of Mexican families live here. They brought their recipes over.

              Also America is a melting pot. Kinda our thing. Every food will be assimilated.

    Mabe it’s me, but I don’t see disgust like I’ve previously read about in the “history” between La France et Coca-Cola, I see a curious surprise with a mild shock of the utterly unexpected.
    Imagine the flavor of Coca-Cola being that alien in your life.
